Ants coming from wasps is like humans coming from monkeys

Been sleeping with the bedroom door to the backyard open all Summer both for cooling down and so the hedgehogs and cats could come and go, but this last week I've been waking up to a fucking swarm of wasps. My patience has its limits.

Just leave some sugar syrup outside and they won't bother looking for food elsewhere
>>

You forgot "galvanize"

I'm about 3m (that's like 10feeties) from a middle sized hive, but they almost never annoy me.
Lately, some came looking for sugar in my drinks, but I've read they only do that when coming to the end of their life cycle?
Anyone got solid info on that?
>>
>>4617979
wasps collect meat/bugs to feed to their young like how a bird does, then they eat nectar that the larvae secrete. for their own nutrition, adults only eat nectar/sugar, wherever they can find it. when all the larvae have pupated towards the end of summer to fall, the workers have to leave the nest to find food, and they usually die soon after
>>
>>4618019
Yes yes, that's perfectly what it felt like, suddenly they went for any sugar that I could provide. The 2 or 3 months before they just let me alone.
>>
>>4616221
Sadly, wasps do not feel any pain.

So sweet.
I wonder why their waist is so thin. I know chitin is very sturdy but still, it looks fragile...
>>
>>4622822
It's still connected by a thin line. It will eventually rip it off. There was one webm with a fly doing that.

it's active support for their tracheae breathing, very similar to what mammels do.

Adaptation to morw easily parasitise host animals.
The social hymenopterans don't technically need this adaptation anymore, but it doesn't seem to hinder them, either, so it is kept.

I'm feeding some wasps and they prefer the sugar syrup (simple 2:1 ratio) I make over honey, wtf is up with that?
>>
>>4626635
Maybe it's shit honey. They can tell if you're lowballing them
>>
>>4626240
If I leave my door open they swarm into my bedroom, apparently.
I cleared them out with the vacuum cleaner. I like animals, but I don't want to sleep around a bunch of wasps, sorry.

there is an entire 400k user board on reddit based on psychotic people unironically thinking that
/an/ has been full of violent cat hate schizos for a decade based on people thinking all cats are ferals
you expect too much of humanity
>>
>>4627700
We are full of cat hating schizos, though.
Every other thread is peppered with accusations of
>toxo

Animal haters are stupid and I couldn't care less that I happen to temporarily align with some reddit board that has banded together thinking /an/ is big bad.
There's a reason I'm here and not there, because that seems to be only purpose for reddit and social media: banding together to reinforce your beliefs that there is some solidly consolidated evil source that needs to be snuffed out and denying all evidence that contradicts and suggests they're not a monolith.
I just think people are retarded and not inherently evil.
